I enjoyed last nights episode but i agree with you guys.
Get rid of the star in a reasonbly priced car. Unless they are actually car fanatics and a bit interesting of course like Jay Kay or Rowan Atkinson. But that bint they had on last night was just embarrassing to watch.

Who the hell was she?
And the audience could barely even muster up a "Yeahh" when Jezza asked "who wants to see the lap". Even the studio audience were yawning when she was rambling on.
It was quite possibly the most boring, dull, unknown guest they've ever had.

To be fair, she obviously IS a bit of a car fanatic... But I never really like the interview bit so I wouldn't mind seeing it gone. It always feels a the boring interlude in the middle of the show.

Yeah, hardly unknown, I've several of her singles and might download a few of her albums now. I'd admit I got distracted on my tablet during the segment, but to say she 'was out of place' because you have never heard of her is daft, especially when you weren't even paying attention.

First album (This Is The Life) is fantastic, second one (A Curious Thing) has some good tracks but is my least favourite. Third one (Life In A Beautiful Light) not quite as good as the first, but not far off.

It was odd how they edited the race finalé to make it seem close, and it kept cutting from Hammond and May in daylight to Clarkson at nighttime.

You seem to be under the impression it was an actual race, they just happened to have a few dozen film crews waiting at various roadsides in France waiting to catch a few seconds of footage as the Mustang came screaming past.

If I recall correctly they do actually do the races, but for some/most of the outside shots of the cars and other stuff they film on the way back or something. I noticed in this episode during the mustang interior shots you could see in the distance the camera crew a lot more than usual.
